Bardsey has a number of net rides dotted all over the island, including at small plantation, in the observatories garden and a number through the withy's. A few of the houses on the island had their own withy's which were small plots of willow which they would then harvest and use to make things with. These withy's are now home to various net rides used to catch birds for ringing. With the willows now getting quite large, which could potentially effect the netting of birds, it was time for a chop to control the growth.
Hummmmm where to start..........
How about starting here?
Help arrives in the form of the two Steves
Pretending to work
The small branches are chipped up expertly by Patrick (note the boots!!)
The space created can also now accommodate a new low net ride running parallel with the fence.
And why not finish off a hard days work with a bit of rock jumping
is the tide far enough in yet????
woohoooo!
